Her parents spoke these words in front of everyone, not even considering her feelings.
Cornelia noticed her presence and quietly asked, "And where's Serena? What college is she attending now?"
Before she tripped and fell down the stairs, Cornelia remembered Serena as a high school senior. Now time flew and she was already in college.
"Grandma, I got into Summerfield College," Serena announced.
Although, with Arabella's grades, getting into Summerfield College wasn't an issue.
But Serena earned her place at Summerfield College, so there was no harm in being a bit proud of her achievement.
Cornelia nodded approvingly, "That's great, Summerfield College is one of the best universities in the country. You've always been a good student."
She turned her attention towards Louisa, "What about the engagement?"
Louisa explained with a smile, "Romeo fell in love with Bella at first sight, and the McMillians are very fond of her. Serena also has a boyfriend now, and he's quite a catch."
One could say it was like hitting the jackpot.
Serena didn't expect the topic of having a boyfriend to keep coming up, and suddenly felt a bit sheepish.
At the time, to make everyone believe she wasn't interested in Romeo, Martha had hastily told a white lie for her. She hadn't anticipated that this lie would later require countless more to cover up.
